Am I seeing things wrong

On the Z06 style wheels, either factory or replica, some of the wheels looks as if they are indented,if you will, in other words has a slight inward slant, ( the white vette from lkparkpimp, "sorry if I spelled it wrong" looks like that,) and personally I like those, and some looks flush, straight up and down, am I seeing this wrong or is it the angles I looking from.

Here are stock C6 sizes with no "slant". I would prefer the slant also but you have to get the ZO6 fenders to fit the real ZO6 wheels.

Yes they are replicas made by a company called O.E.Concepts, sold to me by Nate at www.corvettegarage.com. I believe Bob at www.houseofwheelsonline.com sells them as well. I bought mine from Nate I got them for a great deal. I reused my stock tires and sensors went in fine. I haven't had any issues with the wheels at all.

Good luck
